"Ritter goes on to describe how Iranian opposition groups, including the well known right-wing terrorist organization known as Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations, are carrying out remote bombings in Iran of the sort that the Bush administration condemns on a daily basis inside Iraq. He also describes how to the north, in neighbouring Azerbaijan, the US military is preparing a base of operations for a massive military presence that will foretell a major land-based campaign designed to capture Tehran."Iran War Underway: US and Britain Funding Right Wing Terrorists For Regime Change

"The first parts of the Plan are to break up Iraq, break up Lebanon, and attack Syria. If you get confused by Iran talk, you’ll miss what they are really up to. The Plan hasn’t been going all that well. Iraq isn’t breaking up, Israel was defeated in Lebanon, the Americans didn’t take the bait last summer and attack Syria (representing the awakening of the American Establishment to the fact their government was being run by traitors like Abrams), the Saudis have belatedly woken up to the fact that Israel is not their friend and the Americans are out of control, and the current Zionist attack on Syria has had the unwanted effect of reconciling Syria with the Saudis..." permanent link

"Leading the charge against the popular Iranian government on behalf of the very unpopular oil companies was MI6 loony GK Young who later became a merchant banker in London and a racist campaigner of the most virulent variety. Until he ran out of money and had to go begging for more from the CIA, Young concentrated on subverting the Iranian media, planting false stories, bribing editors, and playing all the other dirty tricks necessary to uphold the principle of the freedom of the press."

In 1979 there were hardly any heroin addicts in Pakistan. In 1986 the official figure was 650,000. In 1999 the official figure was 5 million. In Pakistan the military dictator and friend of the USA, general Zia-ul-Haq, was faced by democrats wanting an end to corruption and inequality. Zia used fundamentalism to weaken his opponents. In 1971, there were 900 Madrassas (Moslem schools) in Pakistan. By the end of Zia's rule there were 8,000 registered and 25,000 non-registered Madrassas. As the state-run school system steadily collapsed, these Madrassas became the only way for the children of poor families to get an education.

According to Leigh: "British journalists – and British journals – are being manipulated by the secret intelligence agencies."

Leigh gave us an example from 1995 when the Sunday Telegraph published a story about the son of Col Gadafy of Libya and his alleged connection to a currency counterfeiting plan.

According to Leigh: "The story was written by Con Coughlin, the paper’s then chief foreign correspondent, and it was falsely attributed to a 'British banking official'. In fact, it had been given to him by officers of MI6, who, it transpired, had been supplying Coughlin with material for years."

According to leigh, former spy Richard Tomlinson heard that "within MI6 there was a 'national newspaper editor' who was used as an agent, and had received up to £100,000 in covert payments, accessed at an offshore bank, via a false passport obligingly supplied by MI6 itself."

Dominic Lawson, then editor of the Sunday Telegraph, denied that he was a spy.

It's possible the region may never recover because there has been too widespread devastation.

There was terror in Europe in previous decades. It seems that the security services had links to the European terrorists. Reportedly, the security services wanted to discredit the Left and keep the rich elite in power.

"Originally aired on BBC2 in 1992, 'Operation Gladio' reveals 'Gladio', the secret state-sponsored terror network operating in Europe.

'The Trap: What Happened To Our Dream Of Freedom' is a three part BBC documentary by Adam Curtis.

Curtis suggests that from the Cold War onwards, our governments have been reducing our freedoms. Curtis suggests that our governments view us in 'simplistic, computerised terms'.The third episode of 'The Trap' is entitled 'We Will Force You To Be Free'.

This episode began with political philosopher Isaiah Berlin.

Berlin, in his essay Two Concepts Of Liberty, referred to "positive" and "negative" freedom.

"Positive freedom" is sometimes favoured by revolutionaries and tyrants who think they know what is good for us.

"Negative freedom" is favoured by Neo Conservatives, the people who reportedly want to bring American-style democracy to Iraq.

Curtis believes that the Neo Conservatives have produced a trap: they have made us think we are free whereas in reality our freedom is very much restricted.

Curtis ended the programme by suggesting that the revolutions that bring "positive freedom" do not necessarily have to involve violence.

Curtis talked a lot about violence.

He told us that the Americans used violence to try topple the democratically elected government of Nicaragua. He told us that the Americans toppled Marcos and brought in a regime that left the corrupt elite in power.

Operation Gladio was organised by 'fascists' within the security services of the West.

Reportedly, the idea was to kill innocent people and then blame this on others.

Gladio was about keeping the right-wing elite in power.

Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony: "You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security."

"Alain Enthoven, the guru behind Thatcher's internal market NHS reforms of the 1980s, was US assistant secretary for defence under President Johnson.... The assault on professionalism - teachers, doctors, lecturers, police - suddenly appears not an unfortunate byproduct of policy: it is the policy. Ministers want doctors and lecturers to be motivated by money and league tables. It is only by ridding them of pesky notions of doing good or knowing best that game theory and public choice can be made to work."Why Gordon's 'greater choice' is a MAD idea

"Lord Turnbull’s jibe last week that Brown was a “Stalinist” was hardly fair. It was under Turnbull as cabinet secretary that delivery teams mimicked Stalin’s pseudo-contractual Gosplan, with ministries reduced to gosarbitrazh boards negotiating the internal state market place. The new element is that in Britain the state retains control but subcontracts delivery, usually at much greater expense, to friends in the private sector. Not a week passes without this system showing obvious signs of collapse. A computer sends thousands of passports to the wrong people, including terrorists. A call to an out-of-hours doctor in north Wales is answered uselessly by a call centre in Cardiff. As schools “teach the league table”, the number of 16-18s not in school or training rises under Labour by 20%."Public services with a heart

Manfo Kwaku Asiedu is one of the accused in the July 21 London Bomb plot. A lawyer claims that 'The only two occasions on which the authorities in this country have ever come across an improvised explosive device made from hydrogen peroxide and an organic substance was the 7th of July and the 21st of July.'

“On April 6, 1979, the same Mossad terror unit... blew up the heavily guarded plant of CNIM industries at La Seyne-sur-Mer, near Toulon, in southeast France, where a consortium of French firms was building a nuclear reactor for Iraq.… The Mossad salted the site of the CNIM bomb blast with ‘clues’ followed up with anonymous phone calls to police — suggesting that the sabotage was the work of a conservative environmentalist group….” Cut-outs, moles, patsies and provocateurs

"The British contingent was traveling along the boundary...between Iran and Iraq...Two boats, each with a crew of six to eight multinational forces, were searching... Iranian boats Friday morning in Ras al-Beesha area in the northern entrance of the Arab Gulf, but big Iranian boats came and took the two boats with their crews to the Iranian waters."

On 24 April, 2006, John Pilger wrote in the New Statesman: “We now know that the BBC and other British media were used by MI6, the secret intelligence service. In what was called 'Operation Mass Appeal', MI6 agents planted stories about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction - such as weapons hidden in his palaces and in secret underground bunkers. All these stories were fake.” In an almost exact repeat of those events in 2002 and 2003, the British mainstream media are now reflexively boosting the US claim that Iran presents a threat to the West.

Hundreds of thousands of teenagers have such poor mastery of the three Rs they cannot scrape a grade C in the two subjects employers and parents regard as crucial.

They are finishing compulsory schooling without the literacy and numeracy skills they need to "participate in life, learning and work" despite a raft of multi-billion pound Labour initiatives...

And the inability of pupils to get good grades comes despite widespread suspicions that exams have been dumbed down in recent years...

Forty-two per cent of pupils finished 11 years of compulsory education without achieving at least a grade C in GCSE English which means they struggle to read and summarise information accurately or use basic grammar...

Forty-eight per cent - or 301,671 - failed to reach the same standard in GCSE maths meaning they are unable to calculate the area of a room.

A total of 54 per cent - nearly 350,000 - fail to achieve the expected level in both English and maths.

"9/11 cells were hosted by FBI informants and their flight schools were up to their altimeters in Iran-Contra-like narco-dollars. Al Qaeda's structure was penetrated up to the senior operational level, possibly including assets of ambiguous loyalty who helped plan and fund the attacks.

UK BUDGET - helping the rich, not the poor.Lower starter rate of 10p to go, meaning all those who pay income tax will start at 20p in the pound. Top-rate income tax threshold will rise to £43,000 from April 2009. At-a-glance: Point-by-point

"A few quick calculations tell you that taking income tax alone (and using this years limits etc), those earning slightly less than 18k (about the average UK salary) will pay MORE tax and the RICH part of the country will pay LESS income tax." - Simon Richardson, Leeds.. The Budget: Your reaction

They all seem to be linked to the military: MI6 or the CIA or American trained generals.

1. Islamic guerrillas in the 1960s - supported by Britain's MI6

2. Komando Jihad, which became Jemaah Islamiah - 'set up by American trained generals.'

3. Laskar Jihad - 'set up by American trained generals.'

4. Bali bomb mastermind Al Faruq - 'worked for the CIA.'

Indonesian special forces regiment Kopassus is trained by the Americans.

Kopassus 'set up a Moslem terror group called Komando Jihad.'

According to Dr Damien Kingsbury, head of philosophical, political and international studies at Deakin University:

"Kopassus... has engaged in... hostage rescue missions. The first was in 1981, when a Garuda aircraft was hijacked.... Kopassus... set up the Islamic organisation Komando Jihad that hijacked the plane in 1981 and which has since emerged as Jemaah Islamiah." We must not get back in bed with Kopassus - theage.com.au

Jakarta human-rights activist Bonar Naipospos told Asia Times Online: "General Suparman is one of the generals who was behind the extremist Jihad groups. He set up militias composed of gangsters and religious fanatics to counter student demonstrations in 1998. One of these militias, Pram Swarkasa, became the embryo of Laskar Jihad."

According to a news story in the Sydney Morning Herald, November 2, 2002:

"Some time around the 30 October 2002, senior officers in the Indonesian military HQ gave a piece of information to a military attache from a Western embassy in Indonesia -the source of explosive used in the October 12 bombing in Bali was the head of the counter-terrorism unit with the army's special forces."

The father-in-law of the officer concerned is Hendropriyono, Indonesia's spy chief.

Allegedly, Kuwaiti citizen Omar Al Faruq played a part in the Bali bomb plot. Al Faruq was arrested in Bogor on June 5, 2002 and handed over to US authorities. Al Faruq was able to escape from custody.

Former Indonesian State Intelligence Coordinating Board (BAKIN) chief A.C. Manulang was quoted by Tempo as saying that Al-Faruq was a CIA-recruited agent.

The airline manifest of Garuda airlines shows that at least two generals from Jakarta visited Bali three days before the bombings and that they returned to Jakarta one day before the Sari Club was blown up. This was confirmed by armed forces chief General Sutarto, who claimed that General Djaja Suparman was on vacation, while General Ryamizard Riyacudu, chief of staff, was said to have gone to Bali for health reasons.

Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf, in his book In the Line of Fire stated Omar Sheikh was originally recruited by British intelligence agency, MI6, while studying at the London School of Economics. He alleges Omar Sheikh was sent to the Balkans by MI6 to engage in jihadi operations.

Omar Saeed Sheikh was convicted of murdering Daniel Pearl.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed"I just wanted to touch on the implications of the fact that KSM has taken credit for the Pearl murder. If you tie this in with Musharraf’s claim that Omar Saeed Sheikh is a British intelligence agent – something which, on its face, makes a lot of sense – the KSM confession may be part of a campaign to get Omar Saeed Sheikh out of the Pakistani jail in which he supposedly still sits. As I have pointed out, if you combine the idea that Omar is a British intelligence agent with allegations that he wired money to Atta, it certainly puts a different spin on the September 11 attacks." http://xymphora.blogspot.com/2007/03/ksm-and-omar-saeed-sheikh.html
